While one in four 16-24 years old women are said to forgo shaving their armpits, according to The Telegraph, many others are opposed to growing it out. Meanwhile, some 68 per cent of men trim their armpit hair, according to Men’s Health, it is unknown how many actually shave it all off.

Being non-binary, Amandla does not identify with either gender, so their choice should be viewed outside these gender norms.

Amandla addressed the ‘drama’ their armpits caused in an Instagram post to their 1.9 million followers, which they hashtagged #drama and #armpit.

One of their followers wrote: “Why are people pretending to like armpit hair, armpit hair looks good on no one.”
